# Unauthorized Managed Packages

To participate in the AppExchange Partner Program, Salesforce’s partners must meet certain standards and submit their AppExchange products for security review. When you install a managed package that the AppExchange Partner Program hasn’t authorized for distribution, we notify you during installation.

![A view of the pre-installation notification that appears for unauthorized managed packages.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-setup-264-0-0-production-enus/6f21df35-9ea0-4f53-ac94-45c3b5dfd5bc/setup/images/package_install_notification.png)

The notification appears when you configure the package installation settings (1). Before you install the package, you must confirm that you understand that the package isn’t authorized for distribution (2).
